Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has appealed to all Thais, regardless of their political differences and affiliations, to stop bickering and spreading hatred against one another, and make use of the mechanism of democracy to help build the country.

A mechanism which he has dismantled.... people only bicker when they are un-happy.

PM is in for a shock soon, telling people to shut up usually provokes a reaction!

Whoa.. Stopping Thainess...cooperation, sounds like a foreign influence.. 5555

Looking at the issue objectively and unemotionally you can see why some Thai people dislike foreigners when so many of them call for their government to be replaced.  I wonder how we would each feel if foreigners got together on social media and did the same thing in our home country.

Not a very happy looking man, is he? 

1. He's not taking responsibility, but blaming others for the bickering. You can't blame others for not doing what you want. 

2. Someone should tell him that when you point the finger, there are three pointing back. But then again, he's doesn't want to take responsibility.

3. Someone also has to tell him: "You are reaping what you have sown. What you see in others is just a mirror of yourself."

4. He should eat his Vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea.

OR ELSE!

A sign has appeared in our Immigration Office in front of the seating area for "guests". It simply says:-       "BE QUIET!"

 

Not "PLEASE BE QUIET"

 

That to me is an indication of Thai Immigration/Government policy toward foreigners and Thais alike - basically - "DO AS YOU ARE TOLD!"

[robertson468]

 

 

 

Two observations.  1.   You can work 24/7, but if you do not achieve the necessary aims, all that work is worthless.  2.   The purpose of a Prime Minister is to serve the people, not the other way round as Generals seem to think.  My view as an ex-soldier, they make lousy politicians, because they have an entirely different upbringing, which is based on "do as you are told" as opposed to what do I need to do to improve the lot of the people?

People urge unelected PM to step down. It makes no difference.

“Who says politics is about power and vested interests? I don’t want power or vested interests. Why don’t they trust me?”

...asked the man who ousted an elected government through a coup d'etat, then tightly held on to power and pursued vested interests (namely those of the military) for 5+ years and, when he was finally appointed PM after an "election", didn't even have the decency to complete his oath of office.

 

Trust, Mr. Prayuth, is only accorded to the trustworthy.

None of them will mate. Look at the examples all around the world. All thick skinned, cling on like limpets ability, and once at the trough, will never willingly leave.

 

One of the biggest scourges on mankind and the world - the Political Class.

Out here in the countryside plenty of griping to be heard about being unable to afford basic necessities, and how the government doesn't really listen to the people, but bickering, per se? Not so much.

 

The only price control you have on items are items produced in Thailand itself .Imported items no control and if you don't support the items produced in your own country it can lead to many things. Unemployment, goods rising in price due to low sales so buy the item your country produces.

One should urge the p.m. to look up the actual definition of democracy !

Rigged elections and hand picked senators are certainly not part of it ! 

Or coups

[hugh2121]

Mmmmm, help build the country? I know somebody with a not large piece of land (left to her by a parent). New government land tax = 25,000 Bt. Planted rice, net proceeds from sale of rice = 9,000 Bt. More like help build a never to be used military arsenal.

would not mind if he is reprimanded, adding that he was ready to explain or go to court if accused of corruption

You say this because you KNOW you will NEVER be anywhere near the court. And anyone doing the reprimanding will be doing so from your famous attitude-adjustment camps. Or the 'democratic' versions of the camp.

 

[Nanaplaza666]

Democracy ? Country run by army ?? Doing all he can for the people ??? Wich people ? His own people ? filling up their pockets untill there is nomore pockets to fill up anymore and then give the coumtry back to the people and let them clean up the uncleanable mess he left . From the getgo it was all about him and his ego and nothing else .

He really has no idea about how a democracy and people's opinion / freedom of expression work. A man with a background of army bootlickers heeding to his every word cannot handle this role and it is becoming blatantly obvious. 

As did the famous Duke of Wellington when he entered politics after his brilliant military career. A life long career of issuing orders and having underlings instantly obey them without question.

Just think of how poor the air quality around the BKK area would be if the economy were in a good state. Everyone says things are bad but all I see is traffic, construction and pollution

[Redline]

His country has the greatest inequality in the world, and he is s reinforcing the system.  FYI it’s no democracy 

[Moo 2]

There are 5 million people with 50 baht in their bank account, this doesn't make it easy for them

to help build the country. Time to go back to the barracks General, the soldiers need you.

 This is depressing.
